more electrons furthur down the group which means stronger van der waals forces exist so higher energy is needed to overcome these forces

CBr4 is larger than CH4, so it has a higher London dispersion, a type of Intermolecular force. Higher force means longer time to bring the substance to boil, thus a higher boiling point.

What has a higher boiling point CH3CH3 or CH3Cl?

CH3Cl because it is polar meaning it has both a dipole-dipole bond and dispersion bond, where as CCl4 is non polar and only has a dispersion bond. Since CH3Cl is bonded together stronger, it will be harder to break up and therefore a greater temperature will be required to boil it Edited (9/20/10) CCl4 has a bp 76.7 C, CH3Cl has a bp -24.2 C, see wikipedia or MSDS info. That means the first answer is wrong. Boiling points are based on intermolecular forces. Stronger the forces, lower the vapor pressure, higher the bp. The reason CCl4 has a higher boiling point is because dispersion forces increase with increasing molecular weight and # of electrons. Therefore the greater number of electrons in CCl4 create a stronger dispersion force than the combined dipole+dispersion forces in the CH3Cl.

Molecular compounds boil at much higher temperatures than do ionic compounds true or false?

This is false. Ionic compounds have higher boiling points than molecular compounds. For example, the boiling point of the ionic compounds copper(II) oxide, CuO, and sodium chloride, NaCl are 2,000 degrees C and 1,413 degrees C, respectively. The boiling point of the molecular compounds carbon tetrachloride, CCl4, and water, H2O are 76.72 degrees C and 100 degrees C, respectively.


Does H2O have a higher melting point than CCl4?

Yes. Water melts at 0 ºC. Tetrachloromethane (Carbon tetrachloride) has a melting point of -22 ºC


Why does H2O have a higher melting point than CCl4?

It has to do with intermolecular forces. H2O has an oxygen with two hydrogens coming off of it. This forms two hydrogen bonds, which are much stronger than the London Dispersion Forces in CCl4. (Since CCl4 is non-polar, there are no Dipole-Dipole forces).


Does CI and Br form an ionic bond?

Yes for example with group 1 and group 2 metals. Also they form covalent bonds with non-metals e.g. in CCl4 and CBr4


Does Fe or CCl4 have a higher melting point?

Water molecules, H2O have hydrogen bonding between molecules which means it is a liquid until 100 oC, 212 oF. Carbon tetra chloride/ tetrachloro methane is heavy but boils at 76.8 oC
